When crude oil price reaches the moving average, the Moving Average level can act as a point of support or resistance for the crude oil price.

Buy Crude Trading Signal

If crude oil price is on an upward oil trend & starts to retrace, then most traders might wait to buy at a better crude oil price when the crude oil price hits a support level. Oil Traders will sometimes use the Moving Average to determine the support level.

A buy oil signal is generated when crude oil price hits the Moving Average, turns and starts moving in the upward oil trend direction. The oil signal is confirmed when crude oil price closes above the MA. Because many oil traders use the moving averages to generate oil signals, crude oil price will normally react to these levels.

A stoploss should be set just below the Moving Average oil Indicator. Ideally it should be set a few pips below the previous low.
